More Blue State Taxes in Taxorado

[CS1983]

Nothing is stopping any business that believes in this policy from doing so. It's not like Judy Amabile could face federal charges for paying some woman to stay home w/ her new child. Heck, I think USAA already does not only maternity leave but paternity as well (unsure -- seem to recall that). But if they were to say it's not financially possible for them, what makes them think it's financially possible for any other business or even the tax payers themselves?

However, no fear. I'm doing my part by having my wife stay at home with our little guys. Saves us money and keeps me satisfied that when I see a mark, bruise, etc. on my kids, I can get the straight scoop: "He was knocked over by his brother," "he pulled over the side table on himself," "he was running in the back yard and tripped," etc. Crazy idea, I know, to engage in behaviors which were normal not even 60 years ago.

Exactly! Taking control away from businesses might take care of employee compensation but it doesn't take care of the business. Who is filling in for these absent workers?

Will the business adjust sick and vacation/person days? There is no law mandating vacation/personal days that I'm aware of. My last vacation was June 2016. I am lucky to get one every two-three years.

Will your paycheck be exempt because you have a fulltime caregiver? Nope. You and your wife have to subsidize this stupidity!
